|

Yes. The NCR (aka Symbios) chips are very well regarded in the free UNIX<br>
|
||
community. YOu won't have any problems at all.<br>

<p>
|

No problem at all. I have an Adaptec AHA-2940AU which uses the same style<br>
|
||
of connector as the ASUS does (the small 50-pin SCSI2 connector) and I<br>
|
||
also have the Astra 1200. You can buy cables that have the 25-pin Mac<br>
|
||
style at one end, and the 50-pin SCSI2 at the other, at most any computer<br>
|
||
store or store that sells computer stuff (I bought mine at Staples, the<br>
|
||
office place, for example).<br>

|
||
<p>
|
||
PCI cards are automatically configured and assigned by the BIOS. They<br>
|
||
usually DTRT (Do The Right Thing) all by themselves. You shouldn't have<br>
|
||
any problems at all.<br>

You don't even have to go as high-priced as the ASUS. Many clone cards<br>
|
||
are made that use the NCR chips, and they are just as good as the "brand<br>
|
||
name" ones. I've found good quality clones for $40 and even less at<br>
|
||
computer shows and mail order. Check out <a href="http://www.computerESP.com/">http://www.computerESP.com/</a> for<br>
|
||
some good prices, you may also want to check some of the Linux hardware<br>
|
||
vendors such as PromoX Systems (<a href="http://www.promox.com/">http://www.promox.com/</a>), DCG Computer<br>
|
||
(<a href="http://www.dcginc.com/">http://www.dcginc.com/</a>), or Linux mall (http://www.linuxmall.com/). YOu<br>
|
||
can of course find many more advertisers with good competitive prices by<br>
|
||
flipping through any issue of Linux Journal.<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
(In fact, I just checked, and PromoX has a NCR clone for $50.)<br>
